Lewis Hamilton: why would I leave a team that can be greatest?

Dana Schwartz

A Formula One vehicle was sent to the home of a five-year-old boy with a rare form of terminal cancer after he inspired Lewis Hamilton's victory in the Spanish Grand Prix. "I haven't had a fastest lap all year and it was about time".

Having hoped to see a Ferrari renaissance at the Circuit de Catalunya, where they were so dominant in pre-season testing, Hamilton was disappointed again at their lack of pace, which, nearly incredibly, prompted paddock talk of the Silver Arrows winning all 21 races.

Hamilton had been alerted to Harry's plight after he sent him a video of support from his hospital bed.

Hamilton described Harry as his "spirit angel" as he dedicated his victory to him on Sunday. Good luck wining the race in Spain and thank you for the gifts. "Lots of love from Harry and goodbye".

Asked if it is a relief not to have Ferrari hard on its heels, the Briton said: "When you arrive and you are competing against other teams who are bringing their A-game and you have another two drivers, and that puts a spanner in the mix". But Wolff is also a racing fan. But I have no plans on going anywhere else. I was looking for inspiration and something to grab to so I dedicate today's race to him.

"He's watching and I'll send him a message shortly after this".

A JustGiving page has been set up in Harry's name with the aim of fundraising for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity to continue research into bone cancer.

McConnell on Trump Jr. subpoena: 'I think this is just a blip'
Trump Jr. told the Senate Judiciary Committee in a separate interview in 2017 he was only "peripherally aware" of the proposal. I should also note that Burr's Committee isn't overstepping normal bounds. "The last thing he needs is Washington , D.C".

They have so far raised nearly £3,000. Hamilton devoting his victory to Harry here will surely help them generate many thousands more.

But after he admitted to being too kind to Bottas on their first-lap tussle in Azerbaijan a fortnight ago, the Englishman made no mistake on Sunday, delivering his best start of the campaign to draw alongside the Finn within metres and then making the move stick at the opening right-hander. "I think you need to consider there are probably six or seven drivers out there that have the skill and the intelligence to deserve to be in a race and championship winning auto".

No team has won every race in a season, but McLaren came close in 1988 when they triumphed in 15 of the 16 races - beaten only when Ferrari took advantage of a late collision at Monza - and Mercedes, in 2016, won 19 of 21.

They eventually did. Then, later on in the race, they dithered on whether to order Leclerc aside for Vettel, with the pair on different tyre strategies.

It summed up Ferrari's torrid start to the season.

The Dutchman is now third in the title race, 46 points behind Hamilton.
